On Monday, Nero and TiVo announced Nero LiquidTV/TiVo PC. This news means that TiVo will now function from a computer without a set-top box. The TiVo interface on the computer will look the same as the one on the TV.
The awesome thing about this news is that now users will be able to transport recorded TV shows onto their iPod or PlayStation. Users can also burn fully functioning DVDs that can be transferred between computers or other devices and taken on car rides, plane trips...you name it!
Though TiVo users who have their DVR connected to their desktop can already transport their shows from the set-top box to DVR, this news is still great because the Nero LiquidTV/TiVo PC simplifies this process.
It will be available in mid-October and eventually offered internationally, opening up TiVo to a whole new international market.
This news is great because as a college student, I don't have much down time to just sit and watch TV in my room. Being able to watch my shows on my iPod or on my laptop would be awesome because then I would be able to watch my favorite shows wherever I can catch a free moment.
